ABSTRACT

The rise of feminism, a global movement advocating social, economic, and political equality of the sexes, evolved over centuries through distinct, often overlapping “waves” targeting patriarchal structures. From 19th-century suffrage to modern digital activism, it has expanded to address intersectional issues, aiming to replace subordinate status with gender equality. Feminism is a global socio-political movement and ideology dedicated to achieving social, economic, and political equality for women, aiming to dismantle patriarchal systems that have historically relegated women to subordinate roles.
